Based at the Superior National Forest Seaplane Base in Ely, Minnesota, USFS Beavers provide support for a variety of missions including wildfire detection and suppression, search and rescue, wildlife surveys, fish stocking, aerial seeding and pest detection flights.
This is a variation of a USFS Livery for DHC-2 Beaver created by ANN0V (link). I created this this for my personal use as I wanted some things done differently and decided to share it. Please note this livery was created from scratch, it is not a modification of mentioned livery.
Included variants for wheels, floats and bush version mod from GotGravel.
This is my first published livery, please comment if you find errors or have any suggestions.

Just the ticket !!
In MSFS, I've been "Beavering around" in the Idaho Back Country visiting various NFS strips, following the excellent works of Sim Fly Guy, but I didn't have an appropriate paint for my aerodyne. So I went rummaging around here in FS.TO, and the moment I laid eyes upon this gem, I realized that it was the perfect cab for the job.
Many thanks LamaSVK, for making this splendiferous paint available to all of us non-talented folks!
Cheers,
-Jon

I don't understand why or how this is different from N191Z?
LamaSVK author
There were a lot of differences, I made this version because I wanted more correct version for myself. Now the autor updated the skin so I really don't know which is better. Sorry for inconvenience.
